Answer

  1. The torque on the dipole due to the field may be zero.

Explanation:

In the uniform Electric field the net electric force on the dipole is alwas zero.

In uniform Electric field the torque on the dipole due to field may be zero.

T = 0

Here t Þ Torque

$\text{T}=2\text{qEl}\sin\text{q }\otimes\neq0$
